Two things:

1. After the recent successful growth of Antithesis [1], I'm diving into the topic of deterministic simulation testing. There are some cases (and ready-to-use libraries) where people are doing this in Rust, C++, Go, I'm interesting in this in Java. So I'm up to some experiments. I've also started an "awesome list" of resources about this topic [2]

2. I've made a generated serialization/deserialization library for the Kafka wire protocol in Rust, tested against the original Java implementation. I'll add 3.9 support once it's released and don't see much upcoming changes to the library, apart from maybe working on the Go version.
